I recognise those Krauts! They are in one of the documentaries I have on DVD. When they were not using this big hook to tear up tracks they used explosives. On the subject of railroad tracks....when the Germans invaded Russia they had to change all the tracks from the wider Russian guage to narrower German guage before they could use them.
